Blocks are less about yoga branding and more about range management. They lift the floor when the room or your mobility makes a movement awkward.
That is useful for split squats, mobility drills, calf work, and support during cooldowns.
Where they earn their spot
The block is valuable because it solves more than one problem.
- Use them to shorten range on mobility drills when the floor is too far away.
- Use them as support under hands during split stance work or stretching.
- Pair them with a strap for shoulder and hip work without buying extra specialty tools.
